I hope all pupils and their families are well and have had a good Easter.

Tomorrow we were due to go back to school, but as you are aware the school closure period has been extended until further notice. In this regard we need to continue with our distance learning. Again as prior to Easter the school timetable will be followed. Teachers will teach 50% of classes and give assignments for the other classes. It is very important that you encourage your son/daughter to engage with their classes on line. Students do your best to complete all assignments given. Remember it is the effort that counts. Summer assessments will take place at the end of May for all year groups except 6th years. So it is very important to keep working to the best of your ability. To the Sixth year’s I know it is disappointing that the exams are put back to the end of July. However use the extra time to your advantage and pace yourself for the moment.  
Hopefully they will allow schools to resume in some format soon. In the meantime stay safe and take care.
